Full & Interim Car Servicing
Keep Your Car Performing at Its Best
Your car works hard every day - so giving it a regular service is the easiest way to keep it reliable, safe, and efficient. At Max P Motors, we offer both Full and Interim Services, carried out by experienced mechanics using quality parts and trusted methods.
Whether you drive a few miles a week or hundreds, regular servicing protects your car and saves you money in the long run.
Why Servicing Matters
Servicing isn’t just about changing oil - it’s about catching small issues before they become big, expensive problems.
Regular maintenance helps to:
Prevent unexpected breakdowns
Improve fuel economy
Extend engine life
Keep your car MOT-ready and road-safe
Skipping it might not cause problems today, but it always shows up later - often as a costly repair that could’ve been avoided.
Our Interim Service
How often: Every 6 months or 6,000 miles
Best for: Drivers who use their car daily or cover lots of miles
An interim service is your car’s mid-year health check. It keeps everything running smoothly between full services and helps spot early signs of wear.
What we do:
Change engine oil and oil filter
Check brakes, tyres, lights, and fluid levels
Make sure your car is safe and roadworthy
Why it matters:
Ignoring an interim service lets dirt and sludge build up inside your engine and allows small faults - like low brake fluid or worn tyres - to grow into bigger problems. This simple service keeps your car running better, for longer.
Our Full Service
How often: Every 12 months or 12,000 miles
Best for: Most drivers - the annual check every car needs
A full service gives your vehicle a complete inspection from top to bottom. We replace essential filters, top up fluids, and make sure every system is in good working order.
What we do:
Everything from the interim service
Replace air and cabin filters
Top up fluids (coolant, brake fluid, screenwash)
Check engine, brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust, and more
Why it matters:
A yearly service keeps your car reliable, efficient, and safe - and helps you avoid major repair costs later. It’s the best way to protect your car’s value and performance.
What Happens If You Skip a Service
Not servicing your car doesn’t just save you money - it quietly builds problems that can cost a lot more later. Here’s what usually happens:
1. Engine Wear and Damage
Old oil turns thick and dirty over time. Instead of protecting your engine, it grinds away at it from the inside - like running a marathon in muddy shoes. This can lead to poor performance, strange noises, and eventually, expensive engine repairs.
2. Higher Fuel Costs
When filters get clogged and fluids get old, your car has to work harder. You’ll notice worse fuel economy - more trips to the pump for less mileage.
3. Brake and Safety Risks
Brake pads, discs, and fluid wear gradually. Without regular checks, you might not notice reduced stopping power until it’s too late. Servicing catches these early, before they turn dangerous.
4. Breakdown and Reliability Problems
Small things like worn belts, weak batteries, or leaking fluids don’t fix themselves. If they go unnoticed, they can cause sudden breakdowns - usually at the worst possible time.
5. MOT Failures and Reduced Car Value
A missed service can lead to MOT issues, warning lights, or visible neglect - all of which lower your car’s resale value. A full service history, on the other hand, shows you’ve cared for your car and boosts buyer confidence.
In short: skipping services doesn’t just risk your car - it risks your time, safety, and wallet.
A simple oil and filter change now can stop an engine rebuild later.
